Trailer Park, a full-service agency specializing in content creation and entertainment marketing, has formed a strategy division named Marquee. The new division provides next-gen insights and advisory services to entertainment clients looking to navigate today’s complex media landscape. Marquee is led by Jake Katz, sr.
